Can you smell the solder?

Mostly been bit my the pedal bug lately. This is a transparent overdrive with NOS Russian paper in oil capacitors for extra mojo. For the graphics, I was inspired by 50s-60s Harmony guitars, mainly the Stratotone headstock.

I also put together an Electro Harmonix LPB-1 booster for my buddy Jordan before he moved up to Michigan. He and I were in a band together and he will be missed.

Gut shot

I created the veroboard layout from a schematic on the web and designed it so that the control pot would be soldered straight to the board. That way the board doesn't have to be mounted with tape and I save myself some soldering.

Oh yeah, I'm going to be badging my pedals as "SOFA CAR EFFECTS" from now on. 

As far as actual guitars go, I'm wrapping up this bound fretless bass neck I've been building (that's taken me far too long) for my brother-in-law. The fret lines are painted on and I'm in the process of building up clear coat so they won't rub off easily. 

That's all for now.
